Rule Breakers- A Tayvis story

Nineteen

Travis POV 

I sat in the living room of Jason's house waiting for Taylor. Rage filled me as i thought about his hands on her, how he hurt her. 

The minutes passed by like they our hours and i watched the clock the whole time waiting to hear the front door open so i could take all the pain away from Taylor that i know she is feeling. 

Eventually the sound of the front door opening filled the house and i quickly jumped up from the couch and hurried to see Taylor. My eyes landed on Taylor who had tears running down her cheeks as she held her bags in her shaking hands i quickly move over to her and take her bags before placing them all on the floor and quickly pulling her into my embrace. 

Instantly her hands squeezed my shirt causing her knuckles to turn white straight away, i place my arm around her waist and the other on her holding her as close as i possibly can to bring her comfort. 

"Beautiful it's okay" I soothe but am only met with a sniffle from her as a reply. 

Taylor continues to cry into me and eventually her breaths become unregulated and unsteady, i hold her closer hoping to calm her down enough. 

"Princess i need you to take a deep breath please" I begged as she coughed for air 

"I'm sorry" she coughed out

"No you have nothing to say sorry for" 

"How about we go into bed or somewhere comfortable" I offer and she nods in return 

Instead of moving away from her i just place my hands on her thighs and gently pick her up before walking down the hall and making my way into the guest bedroom that Jason was letting me sleep in while i was here

I place Taylor on the bed softly and move down to take her shoes off before moving her legs so she is lying straight on her back, I grab her shoes off the floor to move them but as i go to move she quickly grabs my hand tightly 

"Baby i'm not going anywhere, i'm just putting your shoes away so you don't trip when you wake up" I quickly explain and place her shoes in the corner and coming to get into the bed next to her

As soon as i get under the covers Taylor rolls over and latches to me once again, i hold her close not knowing exactly how to help her 

 "What do you need baby girl?" I ask but i only get silence 

"Do you want to talk about it or do you just need comfort" She squeezes tighter as i offer her the two choices, i just hold her close and wait until she is ready 

"I didn't mean for it to happen" Taylor started, i went to open my mouth to tell her that by no chance was it her fault but she continues to talk 

"He was always touchy but i just thought that is how he was" She sniffles " I didn't kiss him back i promise i pushed him away and kicked him out" Taylor explains as she wipes her eyes 

"I know what people say about me in the media, how i am jumping from man to man but it isn't true and i really do love you and i would never ever cheat on you. I should have seen how he acted and noticed sooner but i didn't mean it and i am so so sorry" She finishes 

"Sweet girl i don't listen to anything that the public says, i choose to listen to you and i trust you wholeheartedly" I comfort, pulling her closer 

"I love you and i know that you love me. I have no doubt in my mind that you are respectful when it comes to our relationship and i am so so sorry that i wasn't there to protect you when you needed it most" I admit kissing her hair over and over again 

"I don't want anyone else in my house" She whispers as he moves her head to bury it in my neck

"Okay, that's okay i will help make sure no one new comes in i promise"

For a few moments Taylor stays curled up in my arms and fully goes back to a state of calm, no longer crying and her sniffles are long passed. 

"I think i need to get away from home for a while, i might take a trip somewhere. I can't go back just yet" She breaks the comfortable silence we were in 

"Of course, do you feel like you need to be alone?" I ask not knowing what she is wanting but more importunately what she is needing 

"Can you come? Obviously when your family is okay again. But you don't have to" She mumbles into my skin 

"Of course i will come with you baby"
